Hello,
normally all
Lucilia sized green metallic flies in January until March are
Neomyia cornicina (Muscidae) here (northwest Germany).
Lucilia seldom occurs before mid/late April. But this one visited on a sunny day (14 °C) my fruit baits in our courtyard (together with some true
Neomyia,
Calliphora vicina,
Pollenia sp.,
Phaonia tuguriorum etc.) in the midth of February. And it seems to be really a
Lucilia, no
Neomyia, correct?
